These back to back occurrences contributed to the weakening of their city as a whole and as a result the eventual end of democracy. Though it seemed like there might be moments of democracy from time to time‚ these events were really the death knell. The most major were the Decelean War‚ the plague and death of Pericles‚ and the Macedonian take over. When Sparta turned its military attentions to

    Elements of Democracy I believe Canada does not have a true democracy. Canada does not exhibit three of eight elements of democracy: political equality‚ common good and human dignity. One of the elements of having a democracy is political equality. Political equality is when every citizen has the right to vote and run for office and to speak on public issues.

    Did democracy exist in the colonies during the eighteenth century before the American Revolution? Democracy is rule by the people‚ simply put. This on a large scale is nearly impossible.
